Well, Microlearningis a way of teaching and delivering content to learners in small, very specific bursts. The learners are in control of what and when they're learning.

So why is it so important?

By 2025, Millennials alone will make up 75 percent of the workforce, and the average attention span of the Millennial generation is just 90 seconds.Source: e-learning industry blogs

Add to that the Forgetting Curve that claims within one hour, people will have forgotten an average of 50 percent of the information presented. Within 24 hours, they have forgotten an average of 70 percent of new information, and within a week, forgetting claims an average of 90 percent.Source: learning solutions magazine

So by adopting microlearning as part of your training strategy you will not only help staff to retain the information being taught, but also deliver it in such a way that engages the next generation of learners.

Five Microlearning Commandments

Our Bite Size approach

1. One learning objective per assett

All courses are divided up into single lessons concentrating on one learning objective so the learner can be focussed on just one new skill and learn it within 90 seconds.

2. Use Video

Learners are given the choice of reading instructions or going straight to watch a video both only take about 90 seconds

3. Production Quality

All content is written by qualified experienced trainers with a sense of humour who write the content in every day language

4. Timing Matters

Learners have the choice of taking a course or learning just a topic at the time of need 24/7

5. Prove learning took place

All learning is tracked. Though it’s not all about the number of lessons undertaken its more about the impact the learning has had – i.e. what can they do now they couldn’t before, where has it saved them time etc.
